This place was trending a few years back, but me & my best friend decided to finally try it. This place is known for their Fufu and the soups we ordered: the Edikanikan i think & the Egusi soup, which we had ordered with beef. The service was pretty good. People were waiting for over an hour for their foods, but my order thankfully only took about 45 mins. I'm not sure if it's because they ordered way more. I heard a customer come in saying they placed an order online about 10 mins before I ordered at the restaurant and I got my food before them and even ate at the restaurant & they were still waiting. Just be prepared to wait if you ever come here! As you can see from the pictures they gave us big portions which i loved hahaha.
Delicious food period! Im not experienced with choosing African food but I know i wanted to try the goat, rice and greens. Sorry I dont know the proper name for the foods but Joshua is the hotess and he was nice and will help you. The food experience was worth writing about. The food was temperature hot and bursting with flavor $82.00 can feed 4 people.
Delicious dishes all round ordered the Pepper Soup which was spicy but hit the spot. It's very similar to a Mexican dish called Menudo but also includes liver. The Okra was my least fav dish but worth a try.. wish there was a smaller version because we felt bad not finishing it. We order the red stew too. Sauce tasted just like tomato soup soo good. and the Jollof rice was omg soo good and the paired chicken was probably our favorite. The chicken was crunchy and soaked in sauce too! The palm tree juice was surprisingly refreshing Overall great service, great recs we all left satisfied. Would go back
this is my second time here. last time i was here was two years ago. they changed locations but this new place has a parking lot which i love! the food got so much better oh my god it was so delicious. the meat quality got better as well. I got the yam fufu and the beef egusi stew. I'll definitely be back soon!
I was there two Sundays ago with family and we ordered some Egusi and the green soup based on recommendations by King, our server/cashier. It was our first time there and the food was great. HOWEVER, it took so long. I do need to take the time to give kudos to King our server for being able to manage the demands all alone and even went to the kitchen to cook our food for us while still serving everyone else (alone). I do feel that if the restaurant had more workers it would save a lot of time for us the customers, and less stress for the staff. We came back again this past Sunday, and it was the same thing. We loved the food, but just keep in mind that there is going to be a long wait.
